The ptnss were dark on Ramotk hill t The song was soft and tow ; The blosaoniH in tho aweft M.iy.wind Were falling like thu snow. The blnssoma dnlfted at our fret, Ths orchard birds sang clear, The sweetest and Ihe SHildest day It seemed of all the year. For mere to me than birds or flowers, My playmate left her home, And took with her the laughing spring, The music, u4 the bloom. She kissed the lips of kith and kin, She laid her hand in mine j w,.. What mom rouhi ask the bashful boy, Who fed her father's kine ? 8he left us I n the bloom of Jfny The constant yean told o'er Their seasons with as sweet May morns ; But she cumo back uo moro. I walk, with noiselCR feet, tho round Of uneventful years ; Still o'er and o'er 1 sow the spring And reap the autumn ears. She Ilvoa where all the golden year Her snmmer roses blow ; The dusky children of the sun Before her come and go, Tbre, han'ly, with her jeweled hands, Bbn smooths her silken gown No more the homespun Inp, wherein I shook tho walnuts dowj. The wild grapes wait us by the brook. The brown nuts on tbe hill. And still tho Mav-dny Dowers mako sweet Tho woods of Fully mt?l.

The article ia a sketch of Letitia Elizabeth Landon, and like its predecessors is full of mterest. Miss Lan don was one of the most brilliant and talented poets that ndorned English literature thirty years ago. Sho was tho samo ago of Mrs' Hall, and their acquaintance soon ripened into intimacy. We copy to much of tho articlo as gives a sketch of a socinl fancy ball, or party which Miss Landon and her friends had arranged, and which was attended by a number of the rising literary characters who afterward became famous in British literature. "I was one day suddenly summoned to Hans Place, and drawn into a consultation on the important siilijwt of a funcy-ball, which Miss Landon and. Miss Kmma Roberts had 'talked over' Miss Lance to let them give to their friends. They wished me to appear as the wild lash eirl,' or the genius of Erin, with pn Irish barp, to which I was to sing snatches of thu melodies. Miss Speuco was there in consultation, as the 'knew everybody.' She con gratulated mo on my dtbut as an authoress, (I bad recently published my Iirst boon, 'Sketches of Irish Ohaructcr,') and politely adr ded, 'Now you nro one of us, I bball be happy to receive you at my humble abode.' "I beirircd to decline the proposal concern ing the wiltl Irish girl and tho Irish harp, but reed to carry a basket of (lowers. Certain ly tho yWc-givcrs workud 'with a will,' turned ttm iriviit Imnsn 'nut of windows .' ennvertit'ir tbo two school-rooms, big and little, into a bull loom, and decorating it richly with green leaves nnd roses, real and artificial. I con gratulated them on tho prospect "It eeems nosuru inai a Dim snouiu no me first Rrcat event of my literary life. There I saw for tho first time many persons who became in after years intimate friends, and wheso names are now parts of the history or tne lit erature of their country. 'Mr.' Edward Bul- wer, then on the threshold of tamo, 'came out in military uniform. L. E. L. assured mo he was very clover, had written a novel, and 'piles of poetry,' and would be wonderful soon, but that he was much too handsome for an anther; at which opinion, little Miss Spcnce, in a plum nuduiug sort Of turhnn, with a bird oi para dise bobbing over the front, mid a fan even larger than poor Lady Jlorguas, agitated her sultana's dress, and assured me that 'nothing luvated the expression of beauty so much as literature,' and that 'young things, like many of the present company, would not look as M ..nM. t l. n,.lnrn. wila Ortnilllu prononnced by I ho ladies the huudsoniest Tli;il 111 ICU ),:IO . Ml. uuinvi ,.uo .viwiui. youth m tna room, me gcnii?men inea to nut bun down as ellemiDnte,' but in vain. They culled him 'a fuif, delicate, very, very yonng man,' 'a hoy, in fact. I remember wondeiintr at the searching expression of his large, wandering, bluish eyes, that seemed look ing ic and out at everybody and ai ever) imng. The lady of bis love was there, aud che onglit to have been dressed as the Sultana toor Miss Spence borlesquad. Nature had bestowed on ber an Oriental style of beauty, and she would have come out well In Oriental coUume ; but she chose the dtcss nf a Swiss peasant, which, being more juvenile, brongbt her nearer to her lover'a age. She certainly was radiantly beautiful, fbe bad a month like 'chiselled coral,' and eyes fierce as an eagle's or tender as a dove's, an paspioli moved her. Her uncle, Sir John Milly Doyle, then an old man of mark in tbo military world, was naturally proud- of bis beautiful charge, and companioned her tbst evoDinr. "Miss Benger's turban was a formidable rival to that of Miss Spence. Tho historian was long and lunky, according Jo the most approved historical fushion ; consequently her tmbno was above the crowd, while poor Miss Snence'n was nearly crashed by it, and was all K ' e .1-. t -.1 1. t,n .00 ITctJll' 11117 anuvcu mi win siud t'J tuo whirling ilnncfr At last, ia despair, abe donord haudkerchiff, tying it unilcrhepchin, and wherever she went she wished Ihn gnllf honrted Miss Webb to follow, appealing after ithis fashion to lite merry crowd : Tleaae let pie pass ; I am MLs Spence, aod ibis lady is Miss Webb, author of "Tbe Mummy," "Tho Mummy," Sir.' But Miss Webb effected her escape; and tho last tima I raw little Miss Spence that evening, "ho had scrambled up into ono of tboso so-culled cducution chairs,' in which poor girls wero compelled to sit bolt upright for soveral hours of tho day, by way of keeping their shoulders Hat and Birengmeu-biff thoir snino. "I remember 'Father Trout of Watorgrnss nil!' tliatovcniug, then a smooth-faced, rosy cheeked youi.g man. Jano and Marin Porter joined tbo parly lute in tho evening. They camo irom P.bther, and, luongu nor, in tnreei fancy dresses, added to the effect of tho 'gathering. Jane was dressed in black, which was only rclioved by a diamond sparkling on her throat Her sweet meluneholy features and Calm beauty constructed well with tbo blight sunshine of ber sister's round, girlish face. She was drorsed in white, soft bluo gauze floating round her like a haze. L. E. L. (who personated n flower girl in a while chip bat) called the sisters 'tho Evening and Morning Stars.' I was so proud of a compliment Jano paid mo on my new dignity of authorship, a compliment from the author of tho 'Scottish Chiefs,' tho book that in childhood I had read stealthily by moouligbt, coiled up in niy nursery window, just near enough to the sea to hear its music, while the fate of Sir William Wallace mado my heart pant nnd my tears flow! '- "I 6aw thoro for tbe first timn Julia Pnwloe. Sho had just returned from Portugal, and was escorted by her little, round father, the Major. Sho was then in her dawn of lifo and literature, having published two volumes about Portngul, a pretty littlo fairy of n girl, with n wealth of fluxen hair, a completion made up of lilies and roses, with tiny feet in wbito satin hotlines with scarlet heels, and n long, sweeping veil of bluo gauze spangled with silver stars. I think sho dressed as somo Portugese or Spanish character ; for I remember a biL'h comb in ber hair; I can only now re call ber floating about under tho blue gauzo veil. "1 remember ono group of Quakers among (be glittering thronp, who looked sufficiently quaint to attract attention, while the mntron of tbe party raid clever, caustic things, differ ing in quality as well as quantity Irom tho sparkling, n'.ityful iests and repartees, that, as the evening passed, wero Hung about by Mr. Jerdan, the popular editor of the 'Literary Gazette,' tho oracle of that time, and stam mered forth by Dr. Mnginn. "The Doctor1 and Mr. Soman and Theodoro Hook entered together, three men of mark, from whom much was expected after supper. "'I he Quaker matron was Mrs. Trollopo, a portly lady, of any age between lliirty and forty, staid and sedate, as became ber clinruj-ter, and attentive to her 'thees' and- 'thous,' which lent their cloak for plain speaking, of which she wns not chary. Sho frequently nd-monished herdnngbteis perhaps adopted for the .evening against tho vanities by which they were enoompnsssd on every side, satirizing and striking home, but never exhibiting ill temper or actual bitterness. Tbo character wns well sustained thoughout the evening, and occasioned quite as much fear as fun. When Theodoro Hook asked her, according to tho fashion of those days, to tako wine with him, she answered, 'Friend, I tbiivk thou hast had enough already, nnd so have I.' Thcro wns nothing particularly wiso and witty in tbe words ; but their truth was so evident, nnd the manner in whieh they wero spoken so clear and calm, thnt tMy were followed by a roar ot laughter that for a littlo time .rtpsct the mighty humorist, though, in tho extempore song in which ho rallied, be did not forget thnt lie had just rpceived a wallop From tho vould-bc Quaker Trollopo.'

Tbo greater part of. our population aro waiting till they can afTnrd to have pleosunt homes, forgetting that they can at no time uf. ford to have any other. We take tho color of our daily surroundings, nnd are happier, moro able, stronger to labor uiid firmer to endure, when thoso surroundings are pleasing nnd iu good taste. To possess tbeso Important qual itios they need not bo expensive. True beau' ty is cheaper than wo think. Tbo first charm of a home, within and without, is thorough neatness, nnd this is tbo result or habit, not outlnv. It it often cheaper than filth. Paiut the house if you can ; if not whitewush ; but in anv case let it bo iu thorough ropuir. 1M thcro bo no looso shingles, or dangling chipboards, or irates banclnsr by a broken binge. These bints favor thrift as well as taste. Let ti e bou.'o bo sufficiently shaded, This will pny in comfort, wear of furnitnn and lack of liies. It you cannot uliorn green onnus, ytm can afford a green tree or two, tbnteosts noth iilf but labor and. paticuco, and will shelter you from tbo sun in summer and tho wiud iu winter. Plant vines otsome kind about your premises ; they aie Indispensable) to grace ; they show that nature takes kindly to your borne, and baa thrown ber arm around it You need not resort to contly climbers ; woodbine nnd clematis may bo bad for tbo guthoring, and grapes uod hopvines may be so trained as to comhino beauty nnd prolit. Let your turf be smooth nnd firm as velvet, nnd enforce tho death penalty upon weeds with nn unsparing band. No man, rich or poor, can offord to rniso weeds. They choose tho richest spots, whero (lowers, or fruits, or vegetables might grow, and send abroad their seeds as missionaries into every nook ntid corner. Ill kept places always bavo their vegetable five points, where sin nnd misery aro mimicked in pigweed, burdock and nettles. A very few flowers will suffice ; n monthly rose in tbo window, morning glories over the doorwny, und a bright border between your kitchen garden and the street; these ohvays add to tbo picture just thoso touches of color that make j.t pleasant to tho eye. With half a dozen cheap and common kinds, your wife will tako caro that something is always in bloom. But flowers aro gross feeders, and if you keep no domestic animals, you fancy that you can save no manure. You wero never moro mistaken. Every human dwelling is a centre of fertilizing agents mostly wasted as times go, rich enough to mako the whole plat around it blossom like the rose. Tell tbo soil you. bavo nothing to givo it I Civo it what you have, and it will laugh in yonr face. The suds from tho lann dry is a store of liquid wealth. Never waste a drop of it iu drains or towers. It is a floating currency, promising to p".y roundly in grass and vegetables, and fruit. Invest in your home bank, which never suspends payment. Tbeso ftrnssy slopes aro greenbacks whoso is as gold. Carpet sweepings nro manure in n concentrated form. Dug into your flowers they weavo a richer pattern than the one from which they were worn. Thoso old bones (bat deform the premises, if buried be: neatb tbo grope vine, will bo "health to the bgnes'' of till your friends. Old boots mid shoes, tboso most unsightly wrecks, are tho favorite food of tbe raspberry and all it3 palatable kin. Tainted briue, if such unhappily is yours, is a treasure for the plum trees und tho asparagus bed ; slacken limo with it ond it will make a rich dressing for ony garden soil. Every household should havo its compost bed, be it only nn old packing box, where woolen rogs, bits of paper, apple pariugs, refuse vegetables, slop3 from the kitchcu, chips nnd saw dust are storiug up the element of a clorious crow tli. Let not yours bo ono of tho homes where all theso bright possibilities nrrivo only nt "buruiug instead of beauty." Wo bavo named but a part of tho fertilizers of every household.

Springfield Republican.Tho cloak of religion often shows a fine nap in sermon time. Nature kindly disguises herself everywhere around us. and it ia tho eyo of Science alono that detects, in tho beauty of change nothing but the beauty of death. As tbe baggage is, to nn army, so aro rich es to virtue- It oannot well be spared or lcit behind, and yet it hindered tho march; and (lie caro of it sometimes loses or disturbs the victory.

GOV. BROWN ON SAM DO- Tbo tailors have a snying that one in a desperate, perplexing dilemma is "between tbe devil aud tho deep sea." Wejliaye often noted and coriimouted on the bother which-tbe uegro arming problem gives to tbo statement of Dixie, now in tbo very lust stages of desperation. Gor. Joseph li Brown, Rebel Governor of Georgia' baa just called h'u Leg islature togolbcr to deliberate ou tbo crisis; and tba substanco of what be says ' in his Message on the Negro question comes to us, via Richmond, as follows; "He opposes the armne of tho sl".ve3,belicv- lcg, mem to bo rr.oro valuable as agricultural laborers than they could bo as soldiers. They do not wish to go into tho army: and the prineiimLipstraint now upon them is the fear that if they leave, tho enemy will make tiiem tight. Compel thorn to tako up arms and they will desert by thoasauds. "Whatever may bo our opinion of their uormal condition or imprests, we ennuot expect them to perform deeds of heroism when fighting to continue the enslavement of their wives and children, nnd it is not reasonable to demand it of them. Whenever we establish tho fact that they are a Millitnry people, we destroy Our theory that they aro unfit to be free. When wo arm tbo sluves, wo abandon Sluvery. If tho Governor bad always reasoned as soundly, he would never have been a traitor. Tbe fact is, that there is nothing mora to bo mndo out of tho negroes by tbo Rebels.

The Burning or Columbia- Tho destruction of Columbia wns a proper punibhment for the treachery of its citizens; and iu ordering it Gen. Hiiki'.ma has ebown that be knows how to deal with the people of thai blitto. bo long as they behave them selves well and submit quietly, be is prepared to treat them kindly and provide lor their pro tection;, but tho moment they thow their treacherous proclivities it) action, he is equally prepared, lor wiping them out and leaving heir cities a heap of ruins. They havi their choice submission and protection, resistance acd'destruction; and having made their choice, it is presumablfl they prefer destruction to protection. If so, they have enjoyed thoir prcferanco, in this instance, to tbe full. A stern adherance to this policy, on tho part of General Sjirrman, will soon teach tho peo ple oi tho South that tlio tune tor military trifling has passed away, and that they have got to deal with men who era in earnest and mean what they -suy. They must and will be conquered, if every town in tho South has to laid in arshes.

Country: The inauguration took place on tbe 30th of ' April, 1789. Kt 9 o'clock in tbe morning there were religious services in all the churches, and prayers put up for blessings of Heaven, : on the uew Government At 12 o'clock tba . city troops paraded before Washington's door, and toon after tbo committcos of Congress aud hends of departments came in carriage. At half-post twelve tbe procctaioo moved forward preceded by the troops; next cwno the com- , mittecs and brads of departments iu their car ringes, then Washington, a coach of state, big Aid-do-Cainp, Colonel Humphreys, and hia Secretary, Mr. Lear Ju bis own carriago. The 1 foreign Miuiuisters aud along train of citizens brought up the rear. About two hmidrcd yards before reaching the Hall, Washington and his tuito alighted from their carriages nnd passed throagh the troops, who weio drawu up on each side, into the IIull and Seuate Chamber, where tbo Vice Presideut,tbo Senate aod House of Representatives, were assembled. The Vice President, : John Adams, recently inaugurated, advanced and conducted Washington to a Chair of State at tbo upper end of the room. A solemn sik enco prevailed, when the Vice Prosinent arose and informed him that all things were prepared for him to take tbo oath of office required by the constitution. The oath was to be administered by the Chancellor of tho State of New York, in a . balcony iu front of tho Senate Chamber, and iu full view of an immense multitude, occupying tbo street windows, and even roofs of tho i adjacent bouses. Tbe balcony formed a kind of open recess with lofty columus supporting tbo roof. Iu tho center was a tabic with covering of crimson velvet, upon which lay a superbly bound Bible, on a. crimson velvet cushion. This was all the paropharnalia for tho augnst scene. ....... All eyes wero fixed anon tbo balcony, when, r-at tba appointed hour, Washington made his-appearauce, accompanied by various public . functionaries aud Plumbers of the Senate and House of Reprcsentotivea. He was clad ia a full suit of dark brown cloth of American manufacture, with a steel -hi Ited dress sword white silk stockings, and silver sboe-buckles . His hair was dressed nnd powdered in the fashion of tbo day, and worn ia a bag and , tolitairc. His entrance on tho balcony was bailed by universal shouts. He was evidently moved-by this demonstration of public offoctiou. . Advancing to the front of tho balcony, he luid his hand upon his honrt bowed several times, and then retreated to an arm chuir near-tbe table. Tho populace appeared to under- , stund thnt tho sccue bad overcomo bim, and wore hushed at onco into profound silence. . Aftor a few moments, Washington rose ond again came forward. John Adams, the Vice . Pretideut stood on his right; on his left the Chancellor of the Stato, Robert R. Living- . ston; somewhat in tho rear were Roger Sher-man, Alexander Hamilton, General Knox, St CInir, Baron Steuben, and others. Tbo Chancellor advanced to administer the oath prescribed by tho Constitution, and Mr. Otis, the Secretary of the Senate, hold up the Bible on its crimson cushion. The oath was reud slowly and distinctly, Washington nt tho same time laying his hand on the open Bible. When it was concluded, he replie solemnly, "I swear so help mo God!" Mr. Otis would ' bavo raised tho Biblo to his lips, but he bow ed down reverently aud kissed it Tbo Chancellor now stopped forward, way- . ed his hand and exclaimed, "Long live George Woshiugtau, President of the Uuited States. At this moment a ting was displayed on tne - cupola of.tho hall, on which signal there was a general discharge of artillery on the Battery. ; All the bells in tho city rang out a joyful peal, and tho multitudo rout tho air with acclaain-' tion. Washinrton asain bowed to tbe people, and returned into tho Senate chnmbor, where he delivered to both Houses of Congress his inaugural address, characterized by his usual modosty, moderation ana gooa sense, nui uttered with a voice deep, slightly tremulous, nnd so low as to demand close attention from tho listeners. After this he proceeded, with tne whole as semblage on foot, to St Paul's Church, where prayers suitublo to the occasion were read by Dr. Provost, Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in New York, who had been appointed by the Senate one or tbe chaplains of Congress. So closedtho ceremonies of the inauguration. The wholO day was ono oi sincere rejoicing, and in the evening there were brilliant illumi-inations and fireworks. . s - At the third anniversary of the Freedmeu's Association, hold at Washington a few days since Chief Justice Cbase thus expressed himself in regard to negro suffrage: "Shall the loyal blacks of rebel States be permitted tn protect them selves and protect whito loyal ists also by tueir votes, irom new opiiressiuo by amnestied but still vindictive rebols?

The article ia a sketch of Letitia Elizabeth Landon, and like its predecessors is full of mterest. Miss Lan don was one of the most brilliant and talented poets that ndorned English literature thirty years ago. Sho was tho samo ago of Mrs' Hall, and their acquaintance soon ripened into intimacy. We copy to much of tho articlo as gives a sketch of a socinl fancy ball, or party which Miss Landon and her friends had arranged, and which was attended by a number of the rising literary characters who afterward became famous in British literature. "I was one day suddenly summoned to Hans Place, and drawn into a consultation on the important siilijwt of a funcy-ball, which Miss Landon and. Miss Kmma Roberts had 'talked over' Miss Lance to let them give to their friends. They wished me to appear as the wild lash eirl,' or the genius of Erin, with pn Irish barp, to which I was to sing snatches of thu melodies. Miss Speuco was there in consultation, as the 'knew everybody.' She con gratulated mo on my dtbut as an authoress, (I bad recently published my Iirst boon, 'Sketches of Irish Ohaructcr,') and politely adr ded, 'Now you nro one of us, I bball be happy to receive you at my humble abode.'

I remember wondeiintr at the searching expression of his large, wandering, bluish eyes, that seemed look ing ic and out at everybody and ai ever) imng. The lady of bis love was there, aud che onglit to have been dressed as the Sultana toor Miss Spence borlesquad. Nature had bestowed on ber an Oriental style of beauty, and she would have come out well In Oriental coUume ; but she chose the dtcss nf a Swiss peasant, which, being more juvenile, brongbt her nearer to her lover'a age. She certainly was radiantly beautiful, fbe bad a month like 'chiselled coral,' and eyes fierce as an eagle's or tender as a dove's, an paspioli moved her. Her uncle, Sir John Milly Doyle, then an old man of mark in tbo military world, was naturally proud- of bis beautiful charge, and companioned her tbst evoDinr. "Miss Benger's turban was a formidable rival to that of Miss Spence. Tho historian was long and lunky, according Jo the most approved historical fushion ; consequently her tmbno was above the crowd, while poor Miss Snence'n was nearly crashed by it, and was all K ' e .1-. t -.1 1. t,n .00 ITctJll' 11117 anuvcu mi win siud t'J tuo whirling ilnncfr At last, ia despair, abe donord haudkerchiff, tying it unilcrhepchin, and wherever she went she wished Ihn gnllf honrted Miss Webb to follow, appealing after ithis fashion to lite merry crowd : Tleaae let pie pass ; I am MLs Spence, aod ibis lady is Miss Webb, author of "Tbe Mummy," "Tho Mummy," Sir.' But Miss Webb effected her escape; and tho last tima I raw little Miss Spence that evening, "ho had scrambled up into ono of tboso so-culled cducution chairs,' in which poor girls wero compelled to sit bolt upright for soveral hours of tho day, by way of keeping their shoulders Hat and Birengmeu-biff thoir snino.

Jane was dressed in black, which was only rclioved by a diamond sparkling on her throat Her sweet meluneholy features and Calm beauty constructed well with tbo blight sunshine of ber sister's round, girlish face. She was drorsed in white, soft bluo gauze floating round her like a haze. L. E. L. (who personated n flower girl in a while chip bat) called the sisters 'tho Evening and Morning Stars.' I was so proud of a compliment Jano paid mo on my new dignity of authorship, a compliment from the author of tho 'Scottish Chiefs,' tho book that in childhood I had read stealthily by moouligbt, coiled up in niy nursery window, just near enough to the sea to hear its music, while the fate of Sir William Wallace mado my heart pant nnd my tears flow! '- "I 6aw thoro for tbe first timn Julia Pnwloe. Sho had just returned from Portugal, and was escorted by her little, round father, the Major. Sho was then in her dawn of lifo and literature, having published two volumes about Portngul, a pretty littlo fairy of n girl, with n wealth of fluxen hair, a completion made up of lilies and roses, with tiny feet in wbito satin hotlines with scarlet heels, and n long, sweeping veil of bluo gauze spangled with silver stars. I think sho dressed as somo Portugese or Spanish character ; for I remember a biL'h comb in ber hair; I can only now re call ber floating about under tho blue gauzo veil.

"The Doctor1 and Mr. Soman and Theodoro Hook entered together, three men of mark, from whom much was expected after supper. "'I he Quaker matron was Mrs. Trollopo, a portly lady, of any age between lliirty and forty, staid and sedate, as became ber clinruj-ter, and attentive to her 'thees' and- 'thous,' which lent their cloak for plain speaking, of which she wns not chary. Sho frequently nd-monished herdnngbteis perhaps adopted for the .evening against tho vanities by which they were enoompnsssd on every side, satirizing and striking home, but never exhibiting ill temper or actual bitterness. Tbo character wns well sustained thoughout the evening, and occasioned quite as much fear as fun. When Theodoro Hook asked her, according to tho fashion of those days, to tako wine with him, she answered, 'Friend, I tbiivk thou hast had enough already, nnd so have I.' Thcro wns nothing particularly wiso and witty in tbe words ; but their truth was so evident, nnd the manner in whieh they wero spoken so clear and calm, thnt tMy were followed by a roar ot laughter that for a littlo time .rtpsct the mighty humorist, though, in tho extempore song in which ho rallied, be did not forget thnt lie had just rpceived a wallop From tho vould-bc Quaker Trollopo.'

Tbo greater part of. our population aro waiting till they can afTnrd to have pleosunt homes, forgetting that they can at no time uf. ford to have any other. We take tho color of our daily surroundings, nnd are happier, moro able, stronger to labor uiid firmer to endure, when thoso surroundings are pleasing nnd iu good taste. To possess tbeso Important qual itios they need not bo expensive. True beau' ty is cheaper than wo think. Tbo first charm of a home, within and without, is thorough neatness, nnd this is tbo result or habit, not outlnv. It it often cheaper than filth. Paiut the house if you can ; if not whitewush ; but in anv case let it bo iu thorough ropuir. 1M thcro bo no looso shingles, or dangling chipboards, or irates banclnsr by a broken binge. These bints favor thrift as well as taste. Let ti e bou.'o bo sufficiently shaded, This will pny in comfort, wear of furnitnn and lack of liies. It you cannot uliorn green onnus, ytm can afford a green tree or two, tbnteosts noth iilf but labor and. paticuco, and will shelter you from tbo sun in summer and tho wiud iu winter. Plant vines otsome kind about your premises ; they aie Indispensable) to grace ; they show that nature takes kindly to your borne, and baa thrown ber arm around it You need not resort to contly climbers ; woodbine nnd clematis may bo bad for tbo guthoring, and grapes uod hopvines may be so trained as to comhino beauty nnd prolit. Let your turf be smooth nnd firm as velvet, nnd enforce tho death penalty upon weeds with nn unsparing band. No man, rich or poor, can offord to rniso weeds. They choose tho richest spots, whero (lowers, or fruits, or vegetables might grow, and send abroad their seeds as missionaries into every nook ntid corner. Ill kept places always bavo their vegetable five points, where sin nnd misery aro mimicked in pigweed, burdock and nettles. A very few flowers will suffice ; n monthly rose in tbo window, morning glories over the doorwny, und a bright border between your kitchen garden and the street; these ohvays add to tbo picture just thoso touches of color that make j.t pleasant to tho eye. With half a dozen cheap and common kinds, your wife will tako caro that something is always in bloom. But flowers aro gross feeders, and if you keep no domestic animals, you fancy that you can save no manure. You wero never moro mistaken. Every human dwelling is a centre of fertilizing agents mostly wasted as times go, rich enough to mako the whole plat around it blossom like the rose. Tell tbo soil you. bavo nothing to givo it I Civo it what you have, and it will laugh in yonr face. The suds from tho lann dry is a store of liquid wealth. Never waste a drop of it iu drains or towers. It is a floating currency, promising to p".y roundly in grass and vegetables, and fruit. Invest in your home bank, which never suspends payment. Tbeso ftrnssy slopes aro greenbacks whoso is as gold. Carpet sweepings nro manure in n concentrated form. Dug into your flowers they weavo a richer pattern than the one from which they were worn. Thoso old bones (bat deform the premises, if buried be: neatb tbo grope vine, will bo "health to the bgnes'' of till your friends. Old boots mid shoes, tboso most unsightly wrecks, are tho favorite food of tbe raspberry and all it3 palatable kin. Tainted briue, if such unhappily is yours, is a treasure for the plum trees und tho asparagus bed ; slacken limo with it ond it will make a rich dressing for ony garden soil. Every household should havo its compost bed, be it only nn old packing box, where woolen rogs, bits of paper, apple pariugs, refuse vegetables, slop3 from the kitchcu, chips nnd saw dust are storiug up the element of a clorious crow tli.

"Whatever may bo our opinion of their uormal condition or imprests, we ennuot expect them to perform deeds of heroism when fighting to continue the enslavement of their wives and children, nnd it is not reasonable to demand it of them. Whenever we establish tho fact that they are a Millitnry people, we destroy Our theory that they aro unfit to be free. When wo arm tbo sluves, wo abandon Sluvery. If tho Governor bad always reasoned as soundly, he would never have been a traitor. Tbe fact is, that there is nothing mora to bo mndo out of tho negroes by tbo Rebels.

They havi their choice submission and protection, resistance acd'destruction; and having made their choice, it is presumablfl they prefer destruction to protection. If so, they have enjoyed thoir prcferanco, in this instance, to tbe full. A stern adherance to this policy, on tho part of General Sjirrman, will soon teach tho peo ple oi tho South that tlio tune tor military trifling has passed away, and that they have got to deal with men who era in earnest and mean what they -suy. They must and will be conquered, if every town in tho South has to laid in arshes.

Country: The inauguration took place on tbe 30th of ' April, 1789. Kt 9 o'clock in tbe morning there were religious services in all the churches, and prayers put up for blessings of Heaven, : on the uew Government At 12 o'clock tba . city troops paraded before Washington's door, and toon after tbo committcos of Congress aud hends of departments came in carriage. At half-post twelve tbe procctaioo moved forward preceded by the troops; next cwno the com- , mittecs and brads of departments iu their car ringes, then Washington, a coach of state, big Aid-do-Cainp, Colonel Humphreys, and hia Secretary, Mr. Lear Ju bis own carriago. The 1 foreign Miuiuisters aud along train of citizens brought up the rear. About two hmidrcd yards before reaching the Hall, Washington and his tuito alighted from their carriages nnd passed throagh the troops, who weio drawu up on each side, into the IIull and Seuate Chamber, where tbo Vice Presideut,tbo Senate aod House of Representatives, were assembled. The Vice President, : John Adams, recently inaugurated, advanced and conducted Washington to a Chair of State at tbo upper end of the room. A solemn sik enco prevailed, when the Vice Prosinent arose and informed him that all things were prepared for him to take tbo oath of office required by the constitution. The oath was to be administered by the Chancellor of tho State of New York, in a . balcony iu front of tho Senate Chamber, and iu full view of an immense multitude, occupying tbo street windows, and even roofs of tho i adjacent bouses. Tbe balcony formed a kind of open recess with lofty columus supporting tbo roof. Iu tho center was a tabic with covering of crimson velvet, upon which lay a superbly bound Bible, on a. crimson velvet cushion. This was all the paropharnalia for tho augnst scene. ....... All eyes wero fixed anon tbo balcony, when, r-at tba appointed hour, Washington made his-appearauce, accompanied by various public . functionaries aud Plumbers of the Senate and House of Reprcsentotivea. He was clad ia a full suit of dark brown cloth of American manufacture, with a steel -hi Ited dress sword white silk stockings, and silver sboe-buckles . His hair was dressed nnd powdered in the fashion of tbo day, and worn ia a bag and , tolitairc. His entrance on tho balcony was bailed by universal shouts. He was evidently moved-by this demonstration of public offoctiou. . Advancing to the front of tho balcony, he luid his hand upon his honrt bowed several times, and then retreated to an arm chuir near-tbe table. Tho populace appeared to under- , stund thnt tho sccue bad overcomo bim, and wore hushed at onco into profound silence. . Aftor a few moments, Washington rose ond again came forward. John Adams, the Vice . Pretideut stood on his right; on his left the Chancellor of the Stato, Robert R. Living- . ston; somewhat in tho rear were Roger Sher-man, Alexander Hamilton, General Knox, St CInir, Baron Steuben, and others. Tbo Chancellor advanced to administer the oath prescribed by tho Constitution, and Mr. Otis, the Secretary of the Senate, hold up the Bible on its crimson cushion. The oath was reud slowly and distinctly, Washington nt tho same time laying his hand on the open Bible. When it was concluded, he replie solemnly, "I swear so help mo God!" Mr. Otis would ' bavo raised tho Biblo to his lips, but he bow ed down reverently aud kissed it Tbo Chancellor now stopped forward, way- . ed his hand and exclaimed, "Long live George Woshiugtau, President of the Uuited States. At this moment a ting was displayed on tne - cupola of.tho hall, on which signal there was a general discharge of artillery on the Battery. ; All the bells in tho city rang out a joyful peal, and tho multitudo rout tho air with acclaain-' tion. Washinrton asain bowed to tbe people, and returned into tho Senate chnmbor, where he delivered to both Houses of Congress his inaugural address, characterized by his usual modosty, moderation ana gooa sense, nui uttered with a voice deep, slightly tremulous, nnd so low as to demand close attention from tho listeners. After this he proceeded, with tne whole as semblage on foot, to St Paul's Church, where prayers suitublo to the occasion were read by Dr. Provost, Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in New York, who had been appointed by the Senate one or tbe chaplains of Congress. So closedtho ceremonies of the inauguration. The wholO day was ono oi sincere rejoicing, and in the evening there were brilliant illumi-inations and fireworks. . s - At the third anniversary of the Freedmeu's Association, hold at Washington a few days since Chief Justice Cbase thus expressed himself in regard to negro suffrage: "Shall the loyal blacks of rebel States be permitted tn protect them selves and protect whito loyal ists also by tueir votes, irom new opiiressiuo by amnestied but still vindictive rebols?
